Today is 5/28/07Days until the start of Wave 2: 45.Oop! I just realized that I must have miscalculated when I began this thread. Did I ever mention that math isn't my best subject? Actually, I think maybe I counted from the day I'll arrive instead of the day wave begins. Oh, well, one extra day of anticipation!

ROFL - I knew I liked you for a reason - we mathemetically challenged people have to stick together.

Who all is rbinging CELL PHONES to Wave 2?
We should all exchange #s so we can find one another!!

I'll have mine with me. :) My oldest dd will be in FL with her dad & I have to be able to be reached! I'm a nervous worry-wort mom.

If anyone wanted, I would be happy to coordinate a list of numbers.

Today is 5/29/07Days until the start of Wave 2: 44.I know there are lots of fun things to do after the evening sessions. Just remember to get plenty of sleep. It's hard to believe, but learning is actually one of the main reasons for NC. It's harder to absorb all that great stuff if you're too tired to listen.Having said that, Kristin and I have decided that the Sheraton Lounge after the evening session on Thursday, July 12, would be a good time and place to meet up. Everyone is welcome!

Anyone else? Bueller? Bueller? Maybe they will have a piano!
 
  • #114
I plan to be there. Might bring a non-cheffer or two with me. :)

I've got the phone list started, too, so if anyone wants to add their cell phone, just PM it to me. I'll e-mail it to everyone that's on it right before conference. I've also included screen names so that we can recognize who we're calling!
 
  • #115
I'll be there with a non-sheffer for sure! There's no way i would miss this event! :)
 
  • #116
What would be a good time for everyone?
 
  • Thread starter
  • #117
I figure we'll all just filter in as we can from the evening session. That way there's no "gotta be there on time" pressure. Sound okay?
 
  • #118
Don't forget that on Day 1, there is no evening session. The afternoon session gets out at 6:00, and that's the end of the official stuff for the day for most people (unless people want to check out the product showcase room, which will be open until 7:30).

  • #119
Forgot about that, Ann. Alright, people, how about 9:00 in the lounge? That should give everyone time to eat. Don't stress about getting there right at 9:00. Everyone can straggle in on their own schedule--kind of like here.
 
  • #120
9:00 sounds great!!! I will put it on my calendar.
 
  • #121
Count me in!!! I'll have my cheffer button on!! I can't wait!!!:D

You can eat in the lounge - there's food there!! (ya know...peanuts and pretzels and those spicy little rice sticks - LOL)

If you haven't started a packing list, start it soon. It's probably best to make sure it's portable, so you can jot things down as you think of them. Don't overpack, though. How to strike a balance? Why not talk with your roommates. You can probably share some things.

ChefAnn posted this for her buddies in Wave 1. I've, um, borrowed it because it's great advice. Thanks, Ann!


8 mistakes that can spoil any trip
________________________________________

1. Winging it. Know where you're going to stay for at least the first night, especially after a long flight.

2. Packing too much. Limit yourself to one suitcase and one carry-on. Put a change of clothes and your daily medication in the carry-on in case your luggage gets lost.

3. Forgetting essential items. Make a list of things you frequently forget and put it in your empty suitcase.

4. Trying to do too much. Limit the number of activities you plan into each day. Schedule free days for long trips.

5. Trying to get too much work done at the last minute. Spread things out. You'll never have enough time to finish everything the day before you leave.

6. Calling the office too much. This can be a sign of insecurity or trying too hard to control everything. Your boss and co-workers know how to reach you in an emergency, right?

7. Misplacing essential items. Keep boarding passes, identification, passports, trip itineraries, and other documents in one small, easy-to-get-to pouch or bag. Put a bright sticker or ribbon on your luggage to make it stand out.

8. Leaving town without making arrangements to have the mail and newspaper picked up - a sure sign to would-be thieves that your house is empty.

Some of these we have no control over for Conference (like planning too much in one day), but there are some good points in that list
 
  • #130
Awww.. you're sweet, Rae. But I got that list from a newsletter I get from my employer. It was timely information. :) And I got the idea to post tips like that from this thread and all your great tips. [cross post] I think I might put some of your tips into the motivational quote calendar.[/cross post]

Traveling by air? Photograph your luggage and its contents just before you leave. If it gets lost, you'll have a record for the airline. (And, just being prepared often wards off this type of bad luck. You know, just like carrying an umbrella almost guarantees that it won't rain.)

Today is 6/03/07.Days until the start of Wave 2: 39.Traveling by plane? Squeeze the air out of your toiletry bottles before packing them in your luggage. It lessens the likelihood of them exploding because of air pressure changes.

I just flew down to MD and I HAD TO put my toiletries in a ziploc bag. THey actually took it out of my suitcase and scanned it separately. Also check the guidelines for size (lotion, hairspray, gel, etc...) Mine couldn't be more than 3oz big) I just bought all trial size things and it worked out fine.

Yeah - that's the carry-on restrictions - you can only have 3oz bottles and only as many as can fit in one 1qt ziploc. But I am referring to the stuff you put in your checkec baggage -- I always zip-bag that stuff., too.
 
  • #145
Another packing tip: Get a set of "luggage cubes." They're mesh bags that work like mini-suitcases inside your suitcase. They help keep things organized (underwear in one, t's and shorts in another, etc.). They also make it easier for TSA personnel to repack your bag if it's one of the randomly selected bags for searching. I got a set at ebags.com - a red set for me, black for DH (so if we go on a trip with one suitcase, our things are identifiable from eachother).

Today is 6/04/07.Days until the start of Wave 2: 38.Once you get to your hotel room, I know you'll be excited to talk with everyone and get started on the NC fun. Your stay will go much smoother, though, if you take just a few minutes to familiarize yourself with your surroundings. Where are the light switches, and which lights do they control? Where are the AC controls, and how do they work? Where is the emergency exit in relation to your room?Oh, yeah, and from personal experience, make sure the room's clock radio isn't set to full volume on a mariachi station unless that's really how the people in your room prefer to be awakened.

Traveling by bus? Check to make sure what their boarding procedures are. On many lines there aren't assigned seats, and they tend to overbook. It may be necessary for you to line up for departure as much as an hour before your departure time. You don't want to delay your arrival because you didn't get a seat. Heck, you could miss out on meeting some of your fellow Cheffers.
 
  • #150
Traveling by bus or train watch your purse. One of our fellow consultants purse was stolen on Am Track going to conference one year and she had cash in it. It was also two weeks before she got married.
